Re: [suse-sparc] Hi and Netra

Fredde   Find another Linux....Suse hasn't been supported for sparc for a while.  You probably have the final version for sparc.  I switched to debian (www.debian.org)  If you want to see who else still makes distros of Linux for sparc check www.linuxiso.org, they have a lot of distros listed there.    Huston   ----- Original Message ----- From: Fredrik Petersson To: suse-sparc@suse.com Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2005 4:34 PM Subject: [suse-sparc] Hi and Netra Hi all!   Im new to this list, Fredrik 27, software writer from Sweden, likes heavymetal music and fast bikes.   New to SUN but familiar with SUSE.   Well, a friend gave (nice friend) me a old Netra (like 400MHz, 512RAM, 2x8GB scsi�) I said thanks and planned to install SUSE on it and use it for a nameserver.   Ok just to plug the keyboard, well nope, a few hours later I got LOM to work with my cable and wintendo XP over hyperterminal. Sweet. I didn�t manage to get to the ok> prompt until I tried booting without the disks, ok I got to the ok prompt. If I tried probe-ide-all I can se my cdrom on primary slave (if I remember correct) and the correct modelname of the cdrom driver. I run �boot cdrom� It says Cant open disk label package Cant open boot device   The cd that�s in a homemade (with nero) with suse 7.3 for sparc, downloaded from suse.   I have tried three other cd-rom players.   Any ideas of what I should check/do next? Are 7.3 a good version to use on my server, any alternatives?   Best regards   /Fredde
